Aug. 30, 2014-Boston Common, Mass.- The Committee for Peace and Human Rights, Boston- heading into its 16th year of weekly anti-war vigils at Park St.-Veterans for Peace member James spoke eloquently and informed on a variety of current political subjects-9/11, ISIS in Iraq, US fruitless war on terrorism. James is a very well informed and factual speaker-here is a 10 minute video I took at today's sat. vigil, featuring James' speech(please ignore the ignorant pro-war hecklers in the background): http://youtu.be/wtRQIyZClSo We also spoke in solidarity today on the national march in Ferguson, Missouri, protesting the police murder of Michael Brown. Also, the issues of Labor Day and May Day as workers holidays. solidarity and peace, for the Committee For Peace and Human Rights, Boston Stop The Escalations- Yet Again Obama Sends More Troops- No New U.S. War In Iraq- Immediate Withdrawal Of All U.S. Troops And Mercenaries!  Stop The Bombings! –Stop The Arms Shipments … Frank Jackman comment: As the Nobel Peace Prize Winner, U.S. President Barack Obama, orders more air bombing strikes in the North, sends more “advisers” to “protect” American outposts in Iraq, and sends arms shipments to the Kurds guys who served in the American military during the Vietnam War and who, like me, belatedly, got “religion” on the war issue might very well be excused for disbelief when the White House keeps pounding out the propaganda that these actions are limited when all signs point to the slippery slope of escalation. Now not every event in history gets exactly repeated but given the recent United States Government’s history in Iraq those vets might be on to something. In any case dust off the old banners, placards, and buttons and get your voices in shape- just in case. *** Here is something to think about:   Workers and the oppressed have no interest in a victory by one combatant or the other in the reactionary Sunni-Shi’ite civil war. However, the international working class definitely has a side in opposing imperialist intervention in Iraq and demanding the immediate withdrawal of all U.S. troops and mercenaries. It is U.S. imperialism that constitutes the greatest danger to the world’s working people and downtrodden.
